[modestforagenius]

They say don't do it, but it DID put the fire out.

[AntDX316]

I could feel the heat from here

[AntDX316]

thx for the education

I once suggested pouring water on a home-made candle. Fortunately, we were in the woods, for it resulted in a 15 foot fire-ball.

Look us up on Internet

[butterz2butterz2]

water put it out though

[darkpurple100]

@butterz2butterz2 Think before you do ANYTHING! WATCH THIS!! /watch?v=j95_gFWD9lc

NEVER PUT WATER ON IT!!

[marshalljimduncan]

Why is it that the incorrect method was the only one that actually made the fire go out?

[Falador321]

@marshalljimduncan yea, with the cost of your face to be charred

[MathieuCore2]

nice ! i'll try it now. thumbs up if you think it will not happens...

[Zugvogel1]

In the Fire Brigade where I was where made it normal on a old Stove.With only a Half Liter Water on the burning Fire Cause a Flamewall that is going into the Sky where over 30 feet high.It looks a bit like a Nuke.The People over 80 Feet away say they feel the Head in the Face.

So NEVER WATER ON BURNING PAN/POT !!!

[logik316]

It's all pretty good advice, I guess, but wouldn't it make more sense to simply put the lid on the pot? I don't know about you, but I usually keep the lid handy while I'm cooking, so it's a faster and easier method than looking for a baking sheet or going to the sink to prepare a wet towel.

[dandymcgee]

@logik316 That's the first thing they said. Were you even listening?

[logik316]

@dandymcgee

Yeah, but I guess I didn't quite understand the foreign accent. Not everybody speaks New Zealand-ish, you know.

[nzfirechick]

@logik316 New Zealand-ish? Haven't heard that one before! But thanks, I'll take that as a compliment...

[logik316]

@nzfirechick

I speak NewYork-ian, nice to meet you :-P

[LuminousInk]

That vehicle is a fantastic tool. I have to show my kids this vid.

[thekiwicanuck]

@6alarmfire Who is watching the demonstration to see the correct method? Its the incorrect method that everyone wants to see!

[dandymcgee]

@thekiwicanuck Unless you're in your kitchen and your house is at risk. Then you'll be glad you know why NOT to put water on it.

[JCPLAZ1060]

@thekiwicanuck the incorrect method is troughing water into the heating pan!!!

[nzfirechick]

It wasn't my intention to make the children cry...!

[thekiwicanuck]

@vanisland17 Might pay to reconsider that comment buddy...

[vanisland17]

@thekiwicanuck i meant New Zealand... sorry

[thekiwicanuck]

@vanisland17 People have died for less! :D

[vanisland17]

@thekiwicanuck lol :P thats a pretty cool fire trailer they have. Nanaimo FD has one like a house that they put on fire. Good learning tool for kids

[thekiwicanuck]

@vanisland17 Cool, the NZFS has a little one too, just a smoke generator in it though. I'll upload that one in a few weeks.

[vanisland17]

@thekiwicanuck Nice. Look forward to it. I have to do a smoke test training for joining LFR so should be interesting

[tebags]

Great show but so many moaning kids in the background!

[thekiwicanuck]

@tebags Couldn't agree more!
